A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
An honest man’s the noblest work of God.
Never was it given to mortal man – To lie so boldly as we women can.
Tis but a part we see, and not a whole.
And, after all, what is a lie? ‘Tis but the truth in a masquerade.
Know then this truth, enough for man to know virtue alone is happiness below.
Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.
One science only will one genius fit so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
The most positive men are the most credulous.
Behold the child, by Nature’s kindly law pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
